Life on the Rim

As the shuttle crash-landed on the rim world planet, Wagner, Chad, and Gramps were thrown from their seats. The impact was intense, and the three baseliner xenotypes struggled to free themselves from the wreckage.

The first thing they noticed was the eerie silence. There were no birds chirping, no rustling of leaves, just an unsettling quiet. As they assessed their situation, they saw that they were in a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to stretch up to the sky.

Wagner, ever the pragmatist, quickly took charge. "We need to assess our injuries and find shelter," he said, his voice calm and authoritative. Chad, the policeman, nodded in agreement, while Gramps, the herbalist, began to examine their surroundings, searching for any signs of danger or useful resources.

v0.7 desync log sleuthing

Suggested Changes for v0.8

These might be the easiest to remove with minimal loss of playability.

remove Grenade Fix Rearmed as it is an unknown quantity (and thought we saw some odd error messages on GZ using EMP)
remove Fluffy Breakdowns as it is an unkown quantity (might be fine, i'm on the fence on this one)

Description

Two players are connected to the dedicated v rising server running locally. One player is local connecting via the 192.168.xxx.xxx local address. The player with disconnect issues is connecting from the same city also with Verizon FIOS to the public IP address. The dedicated server hardware is wired directly to the router w/ port forwarding only on 9876:9877.

We can play together for a while but three times in about two hours of playing during heavy combat the player connecting remotely gets dropped and can quickly reconnect. It happens frequently enough to be game breaking unfortunately, so trying to figure out how to fix the issue. The local player does not drop.
